:reddit-logo: is full to the brim with "objective" consumers that hate most art and only see the value in "photorealistic" pieces or ones that pander to their specific :freeze-gamer: :awooga: :pathetic: interests, in ways that could very easily be replaced by a machine, thus only caring about the novelty of someone doing something like it with a pencil or whatever.
Further, while modern technology can churn out new illustrations very quickly and often in visually pleasing way, it really does matter to me (and I know I'm not the only one) that another human being, with life experiences and a lifetime behind their work, made something versus "this is cheaper and faster, fuck you got mine" coarse reductionism regarding something that by definition is supposed to be subjectively experienced: art.
On :reddit-logo: that's the gimmick for most of them: a human being somewhat imitated the precision of a machine. Nothing else was expected, or even welcomed. It was like a trained pet doing a trick for novelty's sake.
